Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2008
Suburb meatloaf! This is an excellent recipe that we will use again and again! I did put the ketchup / sugar mixture on top, and I didn't bother measuring the ketchup as I could see how much I needed to coat the top. I used plenty of brown sugar, as I love the sweetness of the topping, and I used a half cup of milk, which I may cut down on by a hair next time. I used a slightly deeper pan, so I found it necessary to up the cooking time and I cooked it for over an hour. I seasoned the meat mixture with dried minced onion as well as garlic powder. Next time, I will add salt to the mixture, as I felt the meat wasn't quite salty enough as is. Also, the fresh chopped onion really added to the texture as well as the flavor....I know some other reviewers used onion soup mix, but I personally would not leave the fresh onion out. It needs to be there. By the time it came out of the oven, the whole house smelled so terrific that I couldn't wait to dig in! This is a fabulous recipe that I will make again. Thanks for sharing!

Baked Ziti III

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
Spectacular and easy! This was a fabulous recipe that I will make again and again. The 9x13 was filled to the top, so you're going to have leftovers. I did season my beef with dried minced onion and garlic powder, and I also used a packaged shredded "pizza" cheese mixture in addition to a smoked mozzerella, which turned out just fine. I would say that adding a layer of sauce to the bottom is a must. If you like chunkier sauce, add a can of diced tomatoes to your sauce for variety...it turns out well and adds complexity. I used sauce containing Italian sausage as did another reviewer, which made a noticable difference. I sprinkled parsley atop the finished product and served....WOW! This was so easy and tastes great, not to mention it saves money with all the leftovers. Thanks so much for a fantastic recipe, Susan!

Roasted Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
Although it was a great recipe, I couldn't help but feel it was lacking something. I'll experiment with the flavors more next time. The paste that is made with the ingredients was easy to spread. Thanks for the recipe.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
I didn't have bread crumbs on hand, so I crumbled vegetable-flavored Ritz crackers and used that with the topping and it turned out fine. The parmesan is a nice touch and doesn't taste too cheesy....the flavor lends something subtle that's unplaceable but needed. I put a little bit of soy sauce in the bottom of the pan before broiling. If you're using large, thick filets, it can be difficult to flip them, especially without breaking the fish. This was overall a decent recipe, but if you use full-fat mayo, beware: you'll only be able to eat half of your portion before it gets too rich. I might make it again, but overall, my household's impression was that it was just okay.

Baked French Fries I

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
This is a yummy fry recipe! My hubby-to-be loves fries, but I hate him ordering them from fast food places or buying the frozen kind because of the pounds of chemicals and preservatives and trans fats those varieties are loaded with, so I gave these a try with dinner last night. They were very good! I didn't measure anything out since potato sizes are so variable anyway, but I added my oil and spice mixture to a zip-lock freezer bag and added the sliced potatoes, closed it, and shook them all up. I will say that turning them 1/2 through is probably needed for sure, though it can be a bit of a pain if you have your cookie sheet filled to the brim with thinly-sliced scalding hot fries. I'd definitely sprinkle salt on them when you take them out of the oven too. Great recipe....will make again. Thanks!

Barbecue Beef Cups

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2008
My dad had always made something similar to this, so I was already familiar with the recipe. I didn't use the cheese and I added brown sugar and a little bit of ketchup to taste to the meat. I reccommend using honey BBQ sauce for the meat, and I used room-temperature reduced-fat cresent rolls for the shells with no sacrifice on taste. I also seasoned the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly-ground black pepper. Amazing! Even my picky eater gave these a "9.7"....they were gone quick! I'd reccommend doubling the recipe if you have more than two people in your home. Give this a try, especially if you like barbeque....they are YUMMY!

Irresistible Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007
Great recipe! I added a splash of vanilla, a pinch of pumpkin pie spice and extra cinnamon, and flour and it turned out wonderfully. I didn't make my own crust because I was pressed for time, so I used a frozen Pillsbury crust and that was fine. It didn't cut very well, but then again it was Thanksgiving and we were in a hurry to eat it..... =] Thanks for the recipe!

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007
Soft, moist, delecatable cookies! This is the perfect base for tweaking the recipe or adding toppings. They taste great the next day too....assuming you have any left.

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2007
This is a traditional pumpkin pie recipe. Although it turned out perfectly, one thing I will say is that it tasted basically like every pumpkin pie I've ever had, which is a good thing and a bad thing. I like my desserts to stand out above the rest, and this just tasted like your standard, run-of-the-mill pumpkin pie. Which, we all know pumpkin pies are GREAT, but I prefer something a little different when serving food to guests. I'd like them to be able to tell my cooking and frozen pie / Kroger bakery cooking apart. =] I did use the pumpkin pie spice in lieu of all the individual spices and it turned out fine. I probably will make again, but I'll find something else to take with it. Thanks for the recipe.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2007
This is a great basic recipe for chocolate chip muffins. They turned out perfect. It is a great base to tweak however you like and experiment with....as they are, they're pretty foolproof. I added a splash of vanilla extract, used a full cup of milk, and made a little less than 1/4 of my cup of sugar brown sugar. I used about 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips, but then sprinkled a few extra on the top of each muffin before I baked them for added chocolate as well as aesthetics. They turned out picture-perfect. Next time I'll probably add a pinch of cocoa to my batter and give that a shot. These were great!
